As a part of your PPL you will need to complete an RT course. The course can be held in house including the Exam.

Please call in and see us for a cup of tea or coffee and speak with our Operations staff or an Instructor who will be able to explain the PPL in more detail.  We will also take the opportunity to show you our aircraft and answer any more questions you may have.

*Prepayment does not guarantee the hourly rate; if the hourly cost rises your advance payment will buy fewer hours. If prices fall it will buy you more hours. You will always be charged at the current rate
